Heritage Narrative
The Rolex Lady Date reference 69240 is a perfect embodiment of classic Rolex elegance in compact form. Produced during the late 1980s, this model represents the transitional era where vintage character met the technological advancements of modern watchmaking — notably the introduction of the scratch-resistant sapphire crystal and improved movement architecture.
This 1988 example features a 26 mm stainless steel Oyster case paired with a matching Oyster bracelet and a timeless white dial adorned with baton hour markers. At its heart beats the Rolex Calibre 2135, a chronometer-certified automatic movement renowned for its accuracy and reliability. The watch’s understated monochrome palette and robust construction make it both refined and durable — a quintessential everyday Rolex for women of taste.
